2015 Ford Transit 2.2L Diesel · 8 WMR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 6 March 2026 at 137,065 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent test was completed without any recorded defects or advisories. While the vehicle failed its initial test on the same day due to a minor administrative or testing discrepancy, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass indicate that the van remains in a roadworthy condition. The lack of recurring mechanical failures over the last three years suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent maintenance rather than neglect. The recorded mileage of 137,065 miles over an eleven-year lifespan averages approximately 12,460 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical commercial usage for a Ford Transit. The accumulation of mileage is steady, with roughly 18,000 miles added between February 2025 and March 2026, and a similar increase recorded between February 2024 and February 2025. This consistent usage pattern indicates the vehicle has been kept in regular operation rather than sitting idle, which often helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components typical of a commercial vehicle with this mileage. Although the MOT record is clean, it does not account for the condition of the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, or turbocharger health, which are common failure points on this engine variant. Inspect the underside for signs of corrosion on the chassis rails and crossmembers, as structural integrity is paramount for a vehicle of this age. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints, as these items often show wear that may not be captured during a standard MOT test but will impact handling and tyre longevity.
